The CSA has it's pros and cons - since I have already paid, I know that I will get so much veg each week fresh, although, sometimes the booth with the fresh broccoli (or something like that) look very tempting and I have spent the money have to spend... but I do love the fact that my kids know Randy and Barbara, and like to go help on work days and learn from someone else about gardening besides me, plus it is on a bigger scale then our garden. The hardest part for us is we still have to drive a half our to a different town so some time there are kinks in our schedules... that was a long not very clear answer. ;)
